"Young man is good, do a good job." The fat man patted Shen Li on the shoulder and said.
After checking the luggage, the fat man asked the eight people to wait for a while, and the carriage would arrive soon.
While waiting, someone started chatting among the people. An old man asked Shen Li:
"Young man, why are you going to work as a miner at such a young age?"
"Well, my qualifications are not good and I haven't found a good sect. I'll go to the mine and mix some spiritual stones for my own use." Shen Li said casually.
"Is this your first time going to the mine?" the old man asked.
"Yes." Shen Li said.
"What is the purpose of cultivation?" the old man asked.
"Practice Qi" Shen Li said.
"How high is Qi training?" the old man asked again.
"Nine." Shen Li replied impatiently.
Seeing that Shen Li looked a little unhappy, the old man stopped asking.
Shen Li suddenly changed his attitude and said politely to the old man: "This kid is new here. He will have to rely on his master to take care of him in the future."
"Natural, that's natural," the old man said, wiping his beard.
"I wonder what level of cultivation the master has?" Shen Li asked.
The old man fell silent and did not answer Shen Li.
A middle-aged man next to him suddenly patted the old man on the shoulder and said with a hint of ridicule: "Old Yangtou, what's wrong? I'm sorry? This young man is in the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. You are also in the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. You still take care of me." What about me? I have been mining for decades and have earned a lot of spiritual stones. Why haven’t I seen you break through to the foundation building stage?"
This middle-aged man was the one in front of Shen Li when he queued up to test his realm. Shen Li remembered that this man was at the second level of Foundation Establishment.
"Ma Xiao, we are all the same thing, but you laugh at fifty steps and laugh at hundred steps, just to make you laugh more!" the old man said angrily to the middle-aged man.
"Don't mention it, you and I are not the same thing. I fell to the second level of foundation building after fighting with someone and the golden elixir was broken. You have been in the ninth level of Qi training for as long as I can remember. This year I have You are forty-eight years old, and you are still practicing at the ninth level of qi. The number one person in the qi training period in the Huangwu Continent must be you!" the middle-aged man said with a smirk on his face.
"Young man, this man's name is Ma Xiao. He is a prostitute and gambler, and he has never said anything nice. Stay away from him in the future, and don't be a bad example of this kind of person." The old man surnamed Yang pointed at Ma Xiao and said to Shen Li.
"Hehe, the number one person in the Qi Refining Period, please don't ruin my reputation in front of the younger generation. I won't deal with you until we get to the new mine." Ma Xiao pointed at Lao Yang and said with a smile.
At this time, two carriages arrived, and the two carriage drivers were also immortal cultivators. Their true energy leaked out, and Shen Li felt that their auras were no longer under the willow forest.
"Okay, everyone can get in the car, four people per car, put your luggage." Brother Fatty greeted everyone.
It was completely dark at this time. After the eight people got on the bus, the two coachmen drove the carriage and left without saying anything to the two staff members at the registration point. They just waved to each other.
At dawn, the carriage had already arrived at the entrance of the Lingshi Mine. The driver took out a token and said something to the sergeants on guard, and the two carriages were released without inspection.
Shen Li saw through the window that the high wall of the Lingshi Mine was taller than the city wall of Fengcheng in the Suzaku Empire, and the gate was also thick. The guarding sergeants were wearing armor and holding weapons. If he hadn't known in advance that this was a Lingshi Mine, Shen Li thought it was an important military fortress.
While Shen Li was deep in thought, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Brothers, we've arrived!" a coachman shouted.
The eight people started to get off the bus and looked for their luggage. Shen Li held a big cloth bag filled with daily necessities and clothes, stood in front of the carriage, and looked at the people walking out of the tall building nearby. Two well-dressed old men were accompanied by several attendants and guards.
"The two transport envoys have worked hard all the way. On behalf of the whole mine, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the arrival of the eight brothers." One of the old men in white robes looked at the eight people holding the luggage, and then said with a smile.
As soon as the white-robed old man finished speaking, the attendants and guards clapped hurriedly, and one of the attendants set off a firecracker.
As soon as the sound of firecrackers fell, another old man in a green robe said: "Everyone is silent. Let me introduce you. This is Elder Huang from Jinxiu Palace. He is currently the general manager of our Xining Lingshi Mine."
The old man in white robe smiled and nodded to everyone.
"Let me introduce myself again. My surname is Chen. I am the executive deputy general manager of our Xining Mine. We are all here to earn spiritual stones. As long as I work honestly here, Elder Huang and I will not treat everyone badly." The old man in green robe said seriously.
"Xiao Li, take these eight people and arrange their accommodation and positions." The azure old man said to a young attendant beside him.
"Yes, Mr. Chen." Xiao Li said.
Xiao Li motioned to the eight people to follow him, and Shen Li picked up the big bag and followed.
"Our Xining mine is a spirit stone mine that has just been put into production. The accommodation conditions are average. Please bear with me, masters. We have two people in one room. The food is not bad. We often supply spirit animal meat and low-level elixirs. Let's get familiar with it first. Come to the dormitory." Xiao Li led everyone to walk for a while and arrived at a bungalow area.
"Zero 0073 and 0074, you two will live in this room, 0075 and 0076, you two will live in that room..." Xiao Li began to divide the dormitories.
Shen Li and middle-aged Ma Xiao lived in a small house with only two beds, two chairs and a folding table.
"Senior Ma, please take care of me." Shen Li put down the bag and said to Ma Xiao.
"It's easy to say, just call me Brother Ma from now on." Ma Xiao said.
"The eight new masters came out after checking the dormitory. I will take you to have a meal. Eat quickly. We have to sign a contract after the meal." Xiao Li said loudly.
Xiao Li took everyone to finish the meal, returned to the office area where the carriage stopped before, and took everyone to sign the contract.
"We have three types of contracts, namely three months, six months, and one year. The spiritual stones are paid every ten days. The basic salary is one hundred spiritual stones per day. The more you work, the more you will be paid. Every month you work , an additional reward of 1,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, and those who have worked for six months will be additionally rewarded with 2,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones. The spiritual stones we use for salary are all divided and refined, in units of blocks. Brothers who have worked in the mines also know that this kind of spiritual stone has higher purity and smaller size. If you have no objection to the salary, you can sign it." Xiao Li introduced.
Shen Li saw that others were starting to sign, so he picked a three-month contract, signed "Shen Yi" on his name, "0076" on his job number, and put his fingerprints on each one.
After signing the contract, Xiao Li asked the eight people to go back to rest, saying that they would be assigned positions in the afternoon and given work equipment.
After returning to the dormitory, Ma Xiao said: "Brother Shen, this job is very boring, but it is quite fast to earn spiritual stones. You are still young. Save some spiritual stones as soon as possible to enter the foundation building stage. The older you get, the harder it is to improve your level."
Shen Li said: "Brother Ma, this is my first time doing this and I have no experience. What kind of work do you usually do in the mines?"
"You will know by then. It is to dig a tunnel above the underground veins, then dig holes from the tunnel, and then transport the dug spiritual stones to the factory. The factory will then clean and process them. The underground activities There’s no technical content, it’s just a bit hot, and it’s usually done by us veteran dough sticks. I’ve never done it in a factory, so I don’t know much about it,” Ma Xiao said.
